<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1412479, member: 10103&quot;]What was it, about a year and a half ago that we had a big brouhaha over the 2009 proof ASE&#039;s absence from production and Daniels fantasy coin created to fill the void......and add to the controversy.&nbsp; Back then I was totally against the concept of a fantasy coin rounding out the series.&nbsp; I also thought it was wrong to mint such a coin but I&#039;ve since changed my position.&nbsp; If the coin never was, then,&nbsp; &#039;it never was&#039;.&nbsp; To say it is counterfeit is wrong.&nbsp; It&#039;s all pure fantasy......the real deal doesn&#039;t exist and in order to have a counterfeit you need the real deal to counterfeit it from.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;There are those who will say that a fantasy piece could be easily passed in everyday commerce and one of Daniels pieces could easily fool the public.&nbsp; True, they are extraordinary pieces, but their production is not intended to deceive but rather to enhance.....in short, they are made for collectors.&nbsp; Now I ask you, would you be silly enough to try and buy a cup of coffe with a fantasy piece?&nbsp; You&#039;d need your head examined.&nbsp; The value of the piece greatly exceeds any face value portrayed on the coin.&nbsp; Oh, what was that you said?&nbsp; They could be sold on Ebay as genuine and rare one of a kind pieces fetching moon money from unsuspecting (uneducated) collectors?&nbsp; Perhaps, but it&#039;s up to the collector to do his due diligence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
